For Steve Burr?s men it?s a result that?s been threatening as after two successive 3-2 come-from-behind victories the tables were turned with the Vics recovering from an interval deficit to rip the hosts apart with a four-goal second half blitz.

And dismal Boro could have few complaints although it looked as if they would stretch their unbeaten three-game run when Jamie Squires rammed in his first league goal for the club just before half-time.

However, the visitors were a different proposition in the second period and with the impressive Greg Blundell bagging a brace and non-stop forager Kevin Street and Jonny Allen adding the others, few left the ground feeling and remorse for Boro.

Maybe if Craig Woodley, who was the best of a poor Nuneaton bunch, and John Turner found the target with clear-cut headers at crucial moments after the interval it would have been different but overall the Vics were well worth the victory.

Burr chose to recall the midfield trio of Jason Peake, John Turner and Richard Lavery to the starting lineup as Boro searched for the win that would take them into the top six and it seemed all was well as they over-came early pressure to gain the initial breakthrough.

After Mark Quayle had squandered a couple of half-chances, Gary Jones saw his close-range shot cleared off the line by Greg Rioch and Woodley?s rising 20-yarder had brought out a superb flying save from Matt Parry the 39th minute brought its reward.

Quayle was upended 20 yards out by Rioch and Squires hammered a sizzling free-kick through the wall and past the helpless Matt Parry.

Meanwhile, Northwich?s best effort until then had been a Blundell drive into the side netting.

Yet that was all to change in the space of 20 minutes, beginning just after the hour mark, although had Woodley converted Quayle?s left-wing centre immediately after the restart and not headed over then who knows what the outcome would have been.

But on 64 minutes Blundell seized on Allen?s neat pass to clinically beat MacKenzie from 15 yards and soon after Street?s left-foot thrust from the edge of the box bulged the rigging again.

Turner copied colleague Woodley?s early miss by turning Jamie Lenton?s pinpoint cross into the Cock & Bear terraces from six yards and once more the Vics repaid the generosity with a double goal burst.

Allen stretched the advantage on 80 minutes with a crisp drive after Boro substitute Warren Peyton had seen his poor free-kick cut out and the fast break caught Boro?s back division in complete disarray.

On 84 minutes, Nuneaton?s misery was complete when a high-bouncing ball struck Adam Cooper on the fore-arm, referee Gary Mellor pointed to the spot and Blundell joyously crashed home the penalty.
